Charles Ernest also hides his natural com- plexfon behind burnt cork before coming m to ‘make all hands laugh at a lot of jokes, mtories and songs. He was unable to satisty the demand last night, his “Hia- watha" song being a pronounced hit. Two of the best acrobatic turns ever offeréd in the theater are on the bill. The Rio broth- ers. have been seen here before, having travelod with the West minstrel company In its palmy days. They have added sev- efal new stunts to their ring work, and are doing some of the most difficult and wonderful feats imaginable, and doing them easily and gracetully. The Schenck broth: ers are new to Omaha, and to fully appreci- ate their act one must see it. Apparently impossible feats of head and hand balancing are accomplished with such grace and ease that the beholder almost refuses to believe his eyes. In both these turns mot only Is immense muscular strength called for, but the most absolute control of the nerves. It is not at all likely that another such an opportunity to see five as finely developed and thoroughly trained young men, working separately, will ever be offered again. Another distinct feature of the program, one that deserves more extended treatment, and which will appeal most potently to the cultured element of the vaudeville pa- trons, 1s the singing of Princess Losoros, It doesn’t matter so much that she is adver- tised. as ‘an Indian princess; East Indian princesses are almost as numerous as Ger- man or Russtah, But'she ha a most pleas- ing soprano voice, has caretully trained and developed it, and is happy In knowing how to use it. Her selections are classic, are sung with taste and careful expression, and were warmly applauded by the large audlence present at both performances i terday. “Acroas the Pactfic” at the Krug. Harry Clay Blaney and his company, brass band, gatling gun and burro, are presenting the well known “thriller” to all the people the theatér will hold at each performance af the Krug. This play has been seen here before; in fact it has been seen In nearly every city in the, United States during the last three seasons, but has not lost its power to draw. Willie Live, the ubiquitous and jmpudent news- paper reporter, is still Johnny-on-the-spot, thwarting villainy, saving heroines, alding the armly and making snap-shots of each and every scene and character for his “play,” 'He is in on every play, never foosles and ‘alwhys turns up just at the ultimate moment.

Oot. %.—Only one disorderly demorimitation marked the third day of the strike of messenger boys employed by the American Distrlct “Telegraph company. Throughout the day several strikers were on picket. about the Western Unlon kL) 9 ny’s main office ‘on State o “IThe ‘plekets tried to indice many of the girl strike breakers to stop work, but generally without any attempt at in- timidatién, ‘Late In the ddy ome of the girls started out of the office with a mes- sage and several of the boys followed her to Saleln street, yelling at her, and punc- tusting their remarks with threats. The #ir1 paid no attention to the crowd until one of the boys struck her, when she struck back. This was a signal for an attack on her by the entire crowd, which had grown. Beveral men rushed to ald the girl and pro- tected her until & couple of policemen, by free use of thelr clubs, scattered the strik- ers and their sympathizers. The girl de- livered the message and returned to the office under police escort. At & meeting of the Bullding Trades coun- cll tonight & committee was appointed to arrange for an indignation meeting in Fanuell hall to protest agalnst the employ- ment of girl messengers by the telegraph company. Officers of the council announced fhat co-operation of the socialtsts would be asked la arranging the meoting. The Newsboys' union has donated $15 for the benefit of the strikers and has declared an assesament of 10 cents a week.

Bunch of Ke: at the Boyd. “A Bunch of Keys" jingled for a fair sized audience in the ‘afterncon and a crowded house in the evening at the Boyd yesterday. This first of Hoyt's successes isn't exactly & perennial. but by ‘careful watching it has been kept alive and up-to- date and no particulgr liberties were taken with the original plan, either. It is cer- tainly & merry farce, of the distinctly Hoyt kind, and admits of the Introduction of an unjimited number of gpecialties. The com- pany having it in hand has been selected for its capacity in this direction, and the result was & pleasing ‘performance. The engagement was for the two performances only. . THREE SMALL FIRES SUNDAY The fire department did not enjoy I usual quiet Babbath, having been called to respond to three alarms during the morning. It kept them on the run continually and, although no serious dam- age was done at any of the fires, the lad- dies experionced the effect of & hard day's work. The large barn in the rear of the lot at 2859 California street belonging to J. Blake McKitrick was found burning early and was the cause of the first alarm, which came in by ‘phone. The mow was stacked with hay and this, in addition to the fam- ily horse, was all burned, entalling a loss of about $500. At 10:07 the second alarm was sent In from the Paxton block and upon investi- gation it was found that & steam connec- tion had been severed in the room occu- pled by Dr. D. A. Foote, filling the room and halls with steam, which was fast con- densing and doing damage to the office turniture on the floor below. A plumber repaired the connection and aside from the effect of the condensed steam the dam- age was slight Hardly had the department returned to the respective engine houses until a third call was turned in, this time being from 1110 Capitol avenue, where & one-story trame bullding occupled Austrians was found aflame, being set on fire by damage amounted to very lMttle and the laddies were sent home, hoping that they could have the balance of the day to them- selves, Sale Ten Million Boxes aYear. CANDY CATHARTIC by a family of spark from the chimney. The Patlents and sisters at St. Joseph's hos- pital were favored by two visits SBunday— one from Governor Mickey and the other from Albin Huster's band, which played a sacred concert of seven numbers in the corridor on the main floor. The 300 inmates of the institution were delighted by both visits and manifested their pleasure by repeated thanks. The presence of the gov- ernor and also of the band, came about through the instrumentality of Frank Dun- lop, assisted by Councilman D. J. O'Brien, who could not be present yesterday be- cause of a business trip to Chicago. The concert was, with one exception, the first band music ever heard in the hospital. The idea originated when Mr. Dunlop was serenaded, while lying ill in the hospital with appendicitls, by the burlesque ‘“Su- sie's” band, his friend, Councilman O'Brien, essaying the part of the tamous conductor. At that time the patients and nurses were greatly pleased and Mr. Dunlop and Coun- cllman O'Brien determined to arrange a sacred concert for the especial benefit of the people of the institution. The affalr yesterday, resulted, and by a coincident, it was the same Sunday that Governor Mickey, at Mr. Dunlop's suggestion, decided to make a semi-official inspection of the hospital. He arrived after the eoncert was finished. Audlence is Delighted. When Conductor Huster raised his baton for the first number his musictans were sur- rounded on every side by the somber- gowned sisters and as many patients as could go or be taken to the corridor near the main entrance. Men and boys. on crutches and In chalrs, women who leaned heavily on the arms of nurses and friends, listened and their pale faces seemed to catch & glow of health from the muslo. Back of the thirty-elght musiciahs the stairway was lined with patfents, too weak to stand. All doors were opened throughout the building and the strains were carried to every room in ‘the three floors. With short intermissions the band played stead- ily for an hour, or untll 1:30 o'clock. It was 50 unlike thie usual concert that both the players and their notes seemed invested with a touch of something sacred and sol- emn. About them were grouped persons who listened to every bit of ‘melody with eager ears, and a glance at their brightened eyes was inspiration enough for any mu- siclan. Upstairs they knew that men and women were softly erying and that mis- shapen and afling little boys and girls wers drinking in the sounds which they had long hospital for an hour was gone and it glad- dened the entire sunny aftérnoon. been denied.

He thought he was going to tde over the Burlington and made arrange- ments accordingly, only to find at the last minute that there was no train on Sun- day. Undeterred, he went to the .Rock Tsland station and used that line, reaching the hospital just at the appointed time— 2 o'clock. He was accompanied by. Cauncii- man Huntington and W.

Comforts the Patfent ‘e never know how valuable dnd how dear health is until we see things like this," said the governor-as he left a room full ot patients who had been maimed in various distressing ways. They showed him: the oldest inhabitant, a woman, 50 old and Infirm that she could not: longer sit upright. All her teeth were gone and parts of all her faculties were deficlent, but she still could think. Appar- ently she did not understand #he was talk- ing to the governor, for he had addressed several questions to her before she found out by asking how he spelied his name, “M-i-c-k-e-y, Mickey," sald the gover- nor. ‘“Yes, grandma, he's the governor of the state, you know,” sald one of the Internes in & loud voice. ‘/The governor, 1s he!" exclaimed the old woman in surprise. “Well, may the Lord love him. Let me take your hand again. May God bless you. I am nearly a hun- dred years old, I guess, and you are the first governor | ever met. My name is Sabina Quinn and I'm mighty glad to have the honor of shaking hands with you.™ It was 80 on through the wards, Men and boys with lost legs, and damuged eyes and convalescent from recent fevers. The only ward where the governor could not bear to stay for a few minutes—long enough to shake hands and tell a story—was where the wan-eyed consumptives sat uninter- ested with despair written on thelr sunken taces. Turn On X-Rays. For the entertainment of the governor and his party the X-rays were turned on and various demonstrations of thelr ef- ficlency made. From attic to kitchen the horpital was gone over and the governor expressed his opinion in supeslative degree when he addressed the forty-five sisters in their training school room. “I know the man who built this hospi- tal,” _sald the governor, “and I admire him more than I can express for the work he has done for humanity and which will con- tinue to be done, for no one knows how long, through his agency. And you are nobly helping and sharing in this work and your reward in the life to come. will be large indeed. I am proud of the oppor- tunity to meet you and to see your hospi- tal and to note the splendid condition ‘it fs tn. It is what I should call a perfect hospital.” The sisters smiled thelr thanks.
